    They’d just be flung out by the perceived centripetal force (actually the outward swing of the backend of the vehicle’s flatbed there).

    Although the more I think about it, maybe not? As long as the catapult sends the cargo/“human” at the same speed as the very tip of the end of the flatbed, maybe it would be fine?

    Disclaimer: imagining this with a fever isn’t helping.
